Inventory FAQs
FollowWhat is the difference between Stock on Hand and Available Stock?
- Stock on Hand: The total quantity of stock you have in your business.
- Available stock: The stock quantity that is available once the allocated stock has been deducted from the stock on hand
- Allocated stock: The quantity allocated to open transactions (this does not include quantities on open sales orders that have already been shipped, as that quantity has already been deducted from the stock on hand)
Available stock = stock on hand - allocated stock

How can I Delete Multiple Products?
In this case - if the products have not yet been utilised within transactions then they are able to still be deleted. The quickest way to bulk delete these would be to select them from the "View Products" page. Here using the action cog, you would be able select > delete (please see an example of this below):
As a tip to assist with this process - you could perhaps have these products set to a specific filter such as a Product Group (which would then only show these products on the View Product page. This would then allow you to use the action cog and "select all".
If the products have had transactions associated to them, then you would need to mark these as "Obsolete" where we could keep them for recording purposes.
Is there an Aging Inventory Report?
No, there is no dedicated report for aging inventory. However, you can achieve similar results by showing how long it has been since a sale has been made on the Stock On Hand Enquiry report. You can do this in the form of 'Sales Days'. For more information, see Stock on Hand Enquiry.
Can I Update all Stock on Hand once it is Imported into Unleashed?
No, you cannot update bulk stock on hand values. Instead, you can:
or
- Delete all stock and re-import it
1. Create a stock adjustment.
2. Perform a stocktake (providing stock is higher than 0) or you can delete all transactions.
We do not recommend deleting transactions if you have been using Unleashed for more than a month, as it will delete all transaction data.
